The length of a rectangle is 3 inches more than its width. If the perimeter is 42 inches, find the dimensions of the rectangle.
2 answers:
The problem uses the perimeter formula. P = 2w + 2l where w is the width, and l is the length.
We know the length (l) is 3 inches longer than it's width (or l = w+3). Substitute w +3 into Perimeter equation
P = 2w + 2(w+3). That simplifies to P = 4w + 6.
Since P + 42, we have 42 = 4w +6. With some simple algebra we find that w = 9 and l = 12.
Hope this helps!
Width is 12 and length is 9

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
A parallelogram has opposite parallel sides and it is a quadrilateral.
The measure of the third angle is 50 because a triangle has a sum of 180 degrees by angle.
so... 46+84=130 and to get to 180, the last angle has to be worth 50.
Answer:
d/c = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = 5.4321×2^×
f(4) = 5.4321×2^4 = d
f(1) = 5.4321×2^1 = c
d/c = (5.4321×2^4)/(5.4321×2^1) = 2^3 = 8
Answer:
20 ,70
Step-by-step explanation:
Complementary angles sum up to 90
2x + 4x + 30 = 90
6x + 30 = 90
Subtract 30 from both sides
6x = 90 - 30
6x = 60
x = 60/6
x = 10
2x = 2*10 = 20
4x +30 = 4*10 +30 = 40 +30 = 70
